If you want it cheap you can ad:
sawdust (Actual dust not the splintery stuff)
flower,
corn flower,
sand,
bitumen/tar (if you want black)
For small amounts you can also smear somepaint on a clean piece of paper to drain some of the oil and solvent to make it thicker...needs constant stirring and attention.How do you thicken oil paints?
You can use Liguin Impasto or Wingel by ';Winsor %26amp; Newton';. You can also buy gel mediums with alkyd base like Galkyd Gel by ';Gamblin';. Both of them will thicken the paints and it will also help you speed up the drying time.
If you know how to prepare and use wax within your paints, it can also thicken the paints.How do you thicken oil paints?
To thicken oil paint you have to add linseed oil. Oil paintis composed of pigment and linseed oil, by adding more oil you make it more thick, by adding turpentine you are making the paint thinner or diluting it.
There are mediums you can buy at art or art and craft stores. Until I clicked on your question I knew what it was called, but now I can't get the name of it. Darn! Anyway, the stores can tell you what it is.
I also like to order it from CheapJoesArt.com. Their catalogs are great for having tons of info about the products.
by adding no terebentine and more oil
